Sealed Cable Housing

5 / 5

A wet racecourse can wreak havoc on your braking and shifting as cables can quickly become stuck in their housing. In response, GORE introduced their RIDE-ON sealed cable systems ($65). By blocking out dirt and water from your housing and cables, it significantly cuts down on bike maintenance and prevents any mid-race cable mechanicals. As a bonus, the system typically lasts at least an entire season (top racers often replace cables and housing after every muddy race) to drastically cut down on costs and maintenance time.
